Hi everyone. I am new to this method. I just went through the week 1 videos, and on the training schedule under running, it says '3 x 200' or '1 x 10k' and other similar terms. What do these terms mean? Thank you.
Training schedule question.

In short, each training day will require you to run select distances a certain number of times. Some days will be several repetitions of shorter distances, while other days may be one long distance. Anytime you see a number followed by 'x', it's notifying you of the number of times you will run the distance (taking a short break in between each run). Some examples are:
2 x 400 which means 400 meters, 2 times
1 x 10k which means 10 kilometers, 1 time
6 x 100 which means 100 meters, 6 times
2 x 1k which means 1 kilometer, 2 times
Let me know if you have any further questions about the layout of the scheduled training days.

Hello, what is the difference between numbers in brackets e.g. 4x200 (41.3 - 47.1) and 4x400 (1:31-1:44). I can assume the second example is time for a distance. Is it time for 4x400 or only for 1x400? what are the numbers in the first example?
Here is the breakdown of the two examples you provided in your questions:
4x200 (41.3 - 47.1) - You are instructed to run a distance of 200 meters, 4 times. Your goal for each run is to finished within a time range of 41.3 seconds and 47.1 seconds.
4x400 (1:31-1:44) - You are instructed to run a distance of 400 meters, 4 times. Your goal for each run is to finish within a time range of 1:31 and 1:44.
The time range given in parenthesis is referring to 1 attempt at that distance. Does this answer your question?
Thank you Ben. Now it is clear. 1:31 is 1 minute and 31 seconds. 41.3 is 41 seconds and 3 milliseconds - these numbers confuse me :)
Is there a preferred Video app for analyzing run technique?
Hi - there are 2 apps that most of our coaches use Coach's Eye - Video Analysis and Hudl Technique
Quick question, if we want to train 5 days per week Mon-Fri - what do you do on Day 4 & 5? Repeat exercises from that week or progress to the first two exercises of the next week?
Thanks in advance!
Jimmy, each program has a video that tells you how to modify programming to suit your needs.
Thank you! Can you tell me which video is it please? I’ve not been able to find it.
